| SunofKratos said: Well its not really a movie if asked for. Maybe it will be good, maybe not? Who knows. I will watch it because if hjave played the game but seriously i can see only one reason for sony making this movie, to expand the franchsie. Maybe they have Heavenly Sword 2 in the works and thats the reason why they make a movie of that franchsie. But there are tons of movies i would prefer them to make God of War Movie Uncharted Movie Jak and Daxter Movie Sly Copper Movie Medievil Movie Theyhave so many game franchsies that would perfectly fit as a movie too. So i dont understand why they choose Heavenly Sword. |
No one could ever make a decent God of War movie, it would end up being like Clash of the Titans. Jak and Medievil, there's really not enough substance to build on for a decent narrative. Dunno about Sly, never played it, it's possible if they made it a kids flick they might do OK with it. While we're at it, I don;t rate Ratchet and Clank much of a chance even though I love that franchise and think all the characters in it are great I don;t see them holding up a story for 90 minutes.
Uncharted has possibilities, but the will never get a decent writer to do the script, and they'll never get a decent director to direct it. So while it's the best prospect for a decent movie it's unlikely to cut it.
Bascially the true break out box office smash, critically appreciated video game adaptation will be because a really talented film-maker, someone with a name in the industry, is a gamer, and they strike a game whose narrative inspires them. And they gather the right people around them to give such an adaptation the treatment it needs to succeed. That may be a 5-10 years away. But it'll happen eventually. I was hoping Prince of Persia would be it, it wasn't bad and it almost got the critics convinced video game properties can be good source material for movies. But in the end the bug name director and big name actors were there for the payday and the screenplay was not quite there.
